- step 50a the app 150 validates user credentials for data provider system 105 to ensure setup of app 150 and access to data provided by system 105.
- step 50b user of app 150 determines to activate access to SDMS 105.
- step 51 the app 150 associated with the first entity requests and receives an application token via the software module 160.
- the application token may be a signed device authentication (public) key which is generated from the private key stored in the secure storage module 190 of the user device when the user associated with the device is authenticated, for example by a secure user authentication process, such as passcode, biometric, touch or facial verification.
- the private key stored within the secure storage module 190 may be known outside secure storage module 190 only to the SDMS 102 which can accordingly verify the signed device authentication (public) key to check that requests from the app 150 are being made by a user device which has been validly authenticated with the given user having corresponding secure user data stored on the SDMS 102 (step 51a).
- a device setup request is transmitted from the user device 105 to the SDMS 102.
- the device setup request comprises the application token.
- the authenticity of the device setup request is validated at the SDMS 102. Since the software module is associated with the SDMS 102 and the application token is generated from app 150, whereby the application token has been generated based on the specific software module and corresponding app, processing of the application token by the SDMS 102 can this verify whether the application token has been generated based on a valid app and software module relationship, and thus whether the request for access to the SDMS is itself from a valid source, e.g. whether it is from a software module associated with the SDMS 102.
- step 52d a further device encryption key can be generated at the SDMS 102 and this is further transmitted in step 52d to the user device 104 and stored within the user device 104, for example in secure storage module 190.
- the device encryption key is a public key for the device and is generated by SDMS 102 for storage in the device 104.
- the corresponding private key to this public key can be stored only in the SDMS 102.
- step 52a the device setup request is received by the data provider system 105 associated with the first entity.
- step 52b the data provider system 105 generates an enhanced device setup request which includes the device setup request and additional signed credentials of the data provider system 105.
- step 52c the enhanced device setup request is transmitted to the SDMS 102.
- a device signing request is sent to the software module 160 in the user device 104 with user entering account credentials for SDMS (step 53a) and these are passed to module 160 (step 53b) to generate public key with, for example user identification data, as payload.
- a user of the user device 104 is securely authenticated by the user device 104 with a secure user authentication process.
- a secure user authentication process may be a biometric, passcode or password authentication of the user by the user device 104.
- step 53d private secure data provider encryption key is generated based on the specific app 150 and stored in secure module 190 (step 53d).
- the payload is signed with private key (step 53e) and associated with public key corresponding to private key (53f) which is a signed device authentication (public) key to be utilised by app 150 for communication with SDMS 102.
- the process in step 53 may be instigated by app 150 calling a trigger based web frame at the SDMS 102.
- This trigger based web frame contains one or more trigger links, e.g. custom URLs (assuming the device signing request is verified satisfactorily by SDMS 102), which are transmitted back to the device 104 and app 150, Device 104 is capable of interpreting the one or more custom links to cause software module 160 to perform steps 53d and 53e.
- the device signing request sent in step 53b for example containing the user identification data, is received by SDMS 102 and placed into the one or more trigger links in the web frame which is then sent back to the device 104.
- the one or more trigger links are picked up by device 104 and sent to software module 160 to cause the software module to generate the private key and associated signed device authentication (public) key as outlined above.
- a method according to the invention is depicted for securely authenticating a user and the app 150 with the second entity and SDMS 102 utilising the signed device authentication key.
- a user setup request is generated for the SDMS 102 within the app 150 and signed/encrypted with signed device authentication key.
- the signed/encrypted user setup request is transmitted from the user device to the SDMS 102.
- the authenticity of the user setup request is verified at the SDMS 102 by checking the validity of the signing by the device authentication key obtained from the user via the app 150 or attempting decryption of the user setup request, and additionally checking the user credentials for the user which are stored within the SDMS 102.
- step 64 if the authenticity of the user setup request can be validly verified by the SDMS 102, a secure data storage profile for the user is configured at the secure data provider. Since the SDMS 102 is associated with software module 160, it is configured to apply the associated secure decryption/signing check of the user setup request so as to determine the validity of the user setup request for the app 150.
- the user and the user device 104 may be further authenticated by transmitting a mobile verification code (MVC), which is a code of character and/or digits sent by a separate device messaging service (e.g. SMS) to the user device 104.
- MVC mobile verification code
- the SDMS 102 looks up the user device identifier (e.g. mobile number) of the user based on the received user credentials.
- This MVC is then entered by the user into the app 150 which transmits the code back to the SDMS 102 so that it can be checked against the MVC previously transmitted to see whether this received MVC was in fact the MVC previously transmitted. If so, the user and/or the device 104 can be positively verified.
- the user authentication procedure with the SDMS 102 may be implemented via strong user/customer authentication (SCA).
- an alternative step 63 under PSD2 may comprise authenticating the user via a dedicated authentication application associated with and provided by the secure data provider, and installed on the user device and associated with the user being authenticated.
- the SDMS 102 looks up the corresponding user device identifier of the user based on the received user credentials, and transmits an authentication message to the authentication application.
- the authentication application requests that the user authenticate him/herself, for example via biometric login, e.g. touch or facial recognition.
- biometric login e.g. touch or facial recognition.
- the user device Upon verified authentication of the user, the user device transmits a positive authentication message to SDMS 102, such that the user and/or the device 104 can be positively verified.
- the user may be further authenticated by modifying the secure user data for the user stored at the SDMS 102.
- the user can then separately login directly to the SDMS 102 by a separate mechanism and identify the change in their secure user data.
- the modified user data can be input into the app 150 by the user and transmitted to the SDMS 102 which verifies whether the modified data was in fact the data which was modified by the SDMS 102. If so, the user is positively identified.
- the data provider system 105 can be utilised generate an enhanced user setup request.
- the first entity data provider system 105 can receive the user setup request prior to it being transmitted to the SDMS 102. Since the data provider system 105 stores user credentials and additional user data for the user which has previously registered itself with the first entity, the data provider system can supplement the user setup request received with additional user data required for setup by the SDMS 102, without the user having to enter such information into the app 150.
- the user setup request can be further validated by the data provider system 105 prior to being transmitted to the SDMS 102. This can enhance the security and verification of the user. This can be achieved by generating signed first entity credentials in the data provider system 105 and including these signed first entity credentials within or alongside the user setup request which is then passed to the SDMS 102.
- the SDMS 102 can additionally check the legitimacy of the signed first entity credentials, and if determined to be legitimate, then the user setup process at the SDMS 102 can continue. If not, the process can be terminated.
- a method is depicted for providing user data from the SDMS 102 to the user device 104. This method can be performed only once the user device 104 and user associated with the user data have been authenticated with the SDMS 102.
- step 71 when a user instigates a request for their secure data via the app 150, a secure data request is generated at the user device and in step 72 this is transmitted to the SDMS 102.
- the app 150 upon instigation by the user requesting the data and possible verification of the user, transmits a request for the device digital signature (signed device authentication (public) key) to the software module 160 which then requests the signed device authentication (public) key (corresponding to the private key stored in the secure storage 190).
- the user is identified with the secure storage 190 via a secure user device authentication process (e.g. via passcode, or other biometric recognition), and only if the user is identified satisfactorily, the software module 160 obtains the device digital signature (signed device authentication (public) key) from the secure storage 190 and applies it to the data request thereby generating the secure data request.
- This request may also contain a user identifier.
- step 73 the authenticity of the secure data request is verified by the SDMS 102, and if the authenticity of the secure data request is verified, in step 74 data identified by the secure data request is obtained from storage by the SDMS 102 and transmitted to the user device 104. In addition, if the authenticity of the secure data request is not verified a response is transmitted to the user device 104 which indicates that the secure data request cannot be verified by the SDMS 102.
- step 72 the signed device authentication (public) key obtained by the software module 160 from the secure storage 190 is transmitted in the secure data request.
- the authenticity of the signed device authentication (public) key can then verified by the SDMS 102 only if the device digital signature of the software module is verified.
- the secure data request is verified in step 73 by checking whether the device digital signature (signed device authentication (public) key) can be authenticated against the private key for the user associated with the received user identifier which is stored at the SDMS 102. If so, it can be confirmed that the user device sending the secure data request is the device associated with the user.
- the data provider system 105 may receive the secure data request from the user device 104 and thereby generate an enhanced secure data request comprising the secure data request.
- the provider system 105 applies a digital signature of the data provider to the secure data request to generate the enhanced data request. Once generated, this enhanced secure data request can then be transmitted to the SDMS 102. Subsequently, the enhanced data request containing the digital signature of the data provider can additionally be authenticated by the SDMS 102 and if verified, step 74 then proceeds. This permits a further level of security for data providers which are trusted by the secure data provider of the SDMS 102.
